Reason: Wearable technology is still in the
process of being incorporated into apparel. I
strongly believe this would be a reality in the
next two years, allowing us to meet medical and
sports-related consumer needs.

Q:
A:
What tech trend do you anticipate the most in
the next five years?
Transhumanism. Growing up on cyberpunk
novels, comic books and video games I always
dreamt of a cyberpunk future similar to something out of a Neal Stepehnson novel or the
movie Blade Runner. I would love to see how
biological, chemical and electronic enhancements would allow us to transcend the limitations of our bodies and minds and become
post-human, trans-human – whatever you want
to call it. On a personal level, this would allow me
to augment my body with various deeply
integrated cyborg attachments and capabilities!
Q:
A:
What tech trend do you anticipate the most in
the next five years?
Energy harvesting, specifically from the body.
Since wearable tech is getting smaller and
smaller, power requirements will reduce and
people will favor sustainable systems. The easiest
method, is to harvest from what you waste, i.e
heat, using thermoelectrics.

What tech trend do you anticipate the most in the next five
years? : Function, Function, Function in everything we use!
Wake up to a device, which indicates how well you slept,
what time to sleep tonight and your total plan for the day!
Breakfast, lunch & dinner will be personalized based on your
health & daily allowance by an expert. Unfortunately administered by wife
Clothes could maintain an ambient temperature & smell
good- 24 Degrees no matter where you are!
Workouts and sports could be coached virtually by experts
and monitored via wearable's, which send alerts to family &
doctors when needed. Finally, virtual reality will never be the
same. You could feel the pain if playing a boxing game, get
wet if falling into the sea, or bleed (tomato juice) incase you
are shot in the game
